Spaces with soul.
ποίησιςthe art of bringing a story into being
The studio
We listen first, then we build.
Poiesis Studio is a Jakarta-based architecture & interior design consultancy founded by Ar. Amita Ratih Purnamasari (Mayang) as Principal and Jessica Sarana as Partner. Before any spatial program or aesthetic form is designed, a foundational story must be established.
Applied through a phenomenological understanding of the user's experience, the result is architecture & interior design with a profound connection to its context, function, and most importantly to the people it serves.
What we do
Eight disciplines, one continuous conversation.
Architecture
Complete architectural design, from concept and narrative to construction documentation.
Interior Design
Interiors that carry the story through material, light and spatial planning.
Master Planning
Site and community planning that reads context, environment and connection.
Landscape
Gardens and outdoor rooms that tie the built and the natural together.
Furniture
Bespoke, buildable pieces detailed for the hand and the room they belong to.
Permit Document
IMB and regulatory drawing sets prepared to see a project through approval.
Renovation
Adaptive, resourceful reworking of existing spaces for how life is lived now.
Construction Management
On-site oversight of craft, timeline and budget, from excavation to handover.
How we work
Three commitments, held in every project.
Story-Led Design
We lead our design with story. By listening carefully, we write a unique narrative that gives each project its soul — and every spatial decision afterwards traces back to it.
Sustainable Connection
Our commitment to story shapes sustainable environments that make a positive impact. We design open, flexible spaces that bring people together — with each other, and with nature.
Craft & Making
We take a hands-on, resourceful approach to materials. We find beauty in honest materials and details, standing next to the maker to ensure every space is thoughtfully built.
People
A small studio — both principals on site, weekly.

Our belief
“At Poiesis Studio, we believe that spaces should have a soul. They aren't just built from materials, but from personal stories and dreams of the people who live in them.”
